Chemical Effects Revision Worksheet

The document discusses key concepts relating to electricity and electrochemistry. It defines important terms like electrons, electric current, circuits, and electrolytes. It explains the differences between conventional current and electronic current. When an electric current is passed through an electrolyte, it can cause chemical changes like electrolysis or electroplating. Electrolysis involves breaking up the electrolyte solution, while electroplating deposits one metal onto another through the use of electricity.
